Method
Prepare Glass
Mix Cocktail Base
Combine ingredients
In a cocktail shaker, add light rum, fresh orange juice, lilikoi (passion fruit) juice, pineapple juice, fresh lime juice, orgeat, and orange curaçao. Add a generous handful of ice to the shaker.
Shake
Secure the shaker and shake vigorously for 10–15 seconds until the exterior of the shaker is frosty and well-chilled. This both chills and slightly dilutes the drink to balance the flavors.
Strain into glass
Strain the mixed cocktail over the crushed ice already in the souvenir mug, leaving a small gap at the top for the dark rum float.
Float & Garnish
Float dark rum
Using the back of a bar spoon, slowly pour the 0.5 oz dark rum over the top of the drink so it floats as a darker layer on the surface.
Garnish
Garnish with a pineapple wedge and lime wheel on the rim, tuck a mint sprig into the top of the ice (lightly slap the mint between your palms first to release aroma), and top with a maraschino cherry. Optionally present with a paper umbrella and a reusable straw.
Serve immediately with a straw and a small spoon for stirring if the guest wants to mix the dark rum into the drink.
